ABOUT

STORY

HERBIE SPOON – a naïve and emotionally imbalanced 30-year-old – dreams of becoming a successful life coach who inspires people and offers them guidance. His master plan: to start out by making YouTube videos with the help of his filmmaker friend, GINNIE. The only problem is that he keeps messing up during the shoot. Instead of a series of clips with him offering good advice, we end up with a bunch of hilarious outtakes… that he does not find funny. Will he eventually succeed or is he on the wrong path ?

DIRECTOR STATEMENT

When facing challenging situations in life, I often enjoy listening to motivational speakers and life coaches on YouTube. I’ve always been fascinated by the profession of a life coach, because of how meaningful it must be to be able to inspire others and offer them guidance.

But one day I started asking myself if all of these online gurus actually practice what they preach in their own lives. It was right then and there that the idea for ‘Herbie’ came alive. Being a filmmaker who mostly focuses on comedies, I wanted to touch on a contemporary subject but with a comedic twist added to it. ‘Herbie’ is not only a quirky look at the different outtakes of a life coach’s videos. It is a story that takes us on a journey towards self-discovery and embracing who we are.
